Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has threatened to destroy Israel if it tries to attack Iran again.
Raisi, who arrived in Pakistan on Monday, April 22, for a three-day visit aimed at restoring strained relations, addressed the latest tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv at an event in Punjab on Tuesday, April 23.
"If the Zionist regime once again makes a mistake and attacks the sacred land of Iran, the situation will be different, and it is not clear whether anything will remain of this regime," Raisi said as quoted by the state news agency IRNA.
The latest conflict between the two nations stems from Israel's April 1 airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, that killed seven Iranians, including a senior officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' special forces unit the, Quds Force.
Tehran retaliated on April 13 by launching over 300 drones and missiles at multiple targets in Israel.
Israel, unwilling to let matters lie, launched a retaliatory strike on the central Iranian city of Isfahan on Friday, April 19. Iran has brushed aside this strike, claiming that it barely did any damage. Tehran chose to ignore this latest strike while at the same time delivering a promise of swift and serious retaliation should Israel try to make matters worse once again.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has mocked the latest drone attack on Iran, depicting it as small-scale and incorporating primitive hardware. (Related: Iran mocks Israel’s weak attempt at an attack: "Like toys, not drones.")

Amir-Abdollahian said in an interview that claims by several media outlets that the explosions over Isfahan were an Israeli retaliatory attack were "not accurate."
A New York Times report claims that Israel's original plan for retaliating against Iran's mass drone and missile barrage included a much wider counterstrike on military targets, including several near the capital of Tehran.
The newspaper warned that such a broad and damaging attack "would have been far harder for Iran to overlook," and thus have increased the chances of the current conflict turning into a full-blown war.
Raisi calls America and the West the greatest violators of human rights
Raisi, speaking in Lahore, has criticized America and the collective West as "the greatest violators of human rights, condemning their support for the Israeli "genocide" in Gaza.
Iran and Israel's decades-long shadow war exploded into the open after almost six months of war in the Gaza Strip, where Israel started an unprecedented assault that has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, most of whom are civilians and over half are women and children.
Israel declared war against Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks by the Gaza-based Palestinian group that claimed the lives of an estimated 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, and took over 250 hostages.
Since the Oct. 7 attack, militant groups in Lebanon and Yemen have also targeted Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel has accused these militant groups of being proxy organizations of Iran. Tel Aviv has further noted that Gaza's Hamas leaders also receive significant financial and logistical support from Iran.
